'The Inbetweeners' USA remake - First trailer released

MTV has released the first trailer for the US remake of The Inbetweeners.

Featuring several familiar scenes and set-ups from the classic E4 comedy series, Bubba Lewis (Simon), Joey Pollari (Will), Mark L Young (Neil) and Zack Pearlman (Jay) star as the four teenagers struggling to be cool and get girls at school.

Joe Thomas, Simon Bird, Blake Harrison and James Buckley made the British version a hit with three series and a movie between 2008 and 2011.

The Inbetweeners will debut on MTV in the US on August 20, while the British big-screen version will receive a Stateside release on September 7.

Speaking about how the US version would differ from the British counterpart, Pearlman told The Hollywood Reporter: "The high school experience is pretty universal. Awkwardness with girls is definitely going to translate."

Lewis added: "We've made it for an American audience. We've taken things from the British show and made them our own. It's a uniquely MTV show."
